Re: Coward line

Autumn -- I am not familiar with any of these names in my group of Cowards.My folks came into Barnwell Co., SC from Dobbs/Johnston Co., NC and most males had very Biblical names (Zehariah, Ezekiel, Ephraim, , etc.).Although that is by no means conclusive, your names do not seem to fit that pattern.There were several other Coward families in SC during the early 1800s.If you are referring to the William and Mary Coward of late 1600s, other researchers have traced our lines to them also, but I can't associate those names with any recent (late 1700s to early 1800s) members of our lines.
